I hope she would have been prescribed some regular medicine including inhaler medicine for her breathing problem in past years. she should continue with her regular medicine including inhalers and also get steam inhalation 4-5 times daily.
Following tests to be done:
cbc, ESR
CXR
Echo
serum Ig E.

better show old record along with new tests..
